Overview

Homocysteine is an intermediary in the sulfur-amino acid metabolism pathways, linking the methionine cycle to the folate cycle. An elevated concentration of Homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and defieciency of vitamins. Inborn errors of metabolism that lead to homocysteinemia or homocystinuria include cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (homocystinuria) and various defects of methionine remethylation. Genetic defects in vitamin cofactors (vitamins B6, B12, and folate) and nutritional deficiency of vitamin B12 and folate also lead to abnormal homocysteine accumulation.
